Candy canes... what do I do with them???

[AuntieMaggie]

So for years I've wanted to do something with candy canes at christmas so I finally bought a load... so what do I do with them???

[EcoLady]

Tesco have fruit-flavoured ones. I was searching for classic ones to make peppermint bark and ended up smashing humbugs instead!

Hang them on the tree and spend the next 2 weeks saying "no, you may NOT have a candy cane!" to your DC every time they walk past the tree!

[AuntieMaggie]

I don't have any DC and DNs don't like mint so just me...

Hang them on the tree and every child who comes to the house can take one. I said "One!"

Make peppermint bark. Melt milk chocolate, spread it over a tray or whatever then sprinkle over crushed candy canes. Leave to set in the fridge, then cut up. Sometimes I do a layer of milk chocolate then a layer white chocolate. T'is delish!

No Tesco or Home Bargains here either, maybe next year.

We make chocolate bark too, no minty bits, just chocolate with nuts, cranberries, silver balls, lovely.

I've just been looking for a cheery printable about candy canes and found this letter

Our Elf on the Shelf is going to hang them from all the door hooks tonight and possibly make one of the sleighs linked earlier.
